This television has an extended tuning range and
can tune most cable channels without using a cable
company supplied converter box. Some cable
companies offer "premium pay channels" in which
the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals
for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler
device which is generally provided by the cable
company.
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Single 75 ohm
cable or 300 ohm twin-lead wire)
Connect the 75 ohm cable from a combination VHF/UHF
antenna to the antenna jack.
If your combination antenna has a 300 ohm twin-lead wire,
use the 300-75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied).
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Separate VHF
and UHF 300 ohm twin-leads)
Connect the UHF twin-lead wire to a combiner (not
supplied). Connect the VHF twin-lead to the 300-75 ohm
matching transformer (not supplied). Attach the
transformer to the combiner. Attach the combiner to the
antenna jack.
Separate VHF/UHF Antennas
Connect the 75 ohm cable from the VHF antenna and the
UHF antenna twin-lead to a combiner (not supplied).
Attach the combiner to the antenna jack.
NOTE: If your VHF antenna has a twin-lead wire, use the
300-75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied), then
connect the transformer to the combiner.
For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service
For basic cable service not requiring a converter/
descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable
directly to the antenna jack on the back of the television.
For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service
If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use
of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming
cable to the converter/descrambler box and connect the
ANT
output of the box to the antenna jack on the back of the
television. Follow the connections shown left. Set the
television to the output of the converter/descrambler box
(usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler
box to select channels.
For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable
with Scrambled Premium Channels
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable
channels are unscrambled and premium channels require
the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to
use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set
coupler") and an A/B switch box from the cable installer or
an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown
left. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune
any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in
the "A" position, tune your TV to the output of the converter/
descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box
to tune scrambled channels.

9. VENTILATION- Slots and openings in the
cabinet back or bottom are provided for
ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the
unit and to protect it from overheating. These
openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing
the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This unit should never be placed
near or over a radiator or heat source. This
unit should not be placed in a built-in
installation, such as a bookcase, or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer's instructions have been
adhered to.
10. POWER SOURCE- This unit should be
operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the rating plate. If you are not
sure of the type of power supply to your
home, consult your appliance dealer or local
power company. For units intended to
operate from battery power, or other sources,
refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION- This
unit is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the

replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Use two "AAA" size penlight batteries (not
supplied) for the transmitter. The batteries may
last approximately one year depending on how
much the remote control is used. For best
performance, it is recommended that batteries
should be replaced on a yearly basis, or when
the remote operation becomes erratic. Do not
mix old and new batteries or different types.
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
These precautions should be followed when
using batteries in this device:
1. Use only the size and type of batteries

of liquid into the unit.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING- If an
outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with respect to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
18. SERVICING- Do not attempt to service this
unit yourself as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
19. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE- Unplug
this unit from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged.

CLOSED CAPTION
WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?
This television has the capability to decode and display Closed Captioned television programs.
Closed Captioning will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers or it will
translate and display text in another language.
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS
Press the TV/CAP/TEXT button on the remote control to switch between normal TV and the two
Closed Caption Modes (Captions and 1/2 of Full Screen Text).
Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the screen in English or another
language (depending on the setting of the Closed Captions CH.1/2 button). Generally, Closed
Captions in English are transmitted on Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other
languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 2.
Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill 1/2 of full screen with a programming
schedule or other information. After selecting a Closed Caption Mode, it will stay in effect until
it is changed, even if the channel is changed. If the Captions signal is lost due to a commercial
or a break in the signal, the Captions will reappear when the signal is received again. If the
channels are changed, the Captions will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
The Captions will appear in places on the screen where they will least interfere with the
picture, usually on the bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show three-line
Closed Captions which scroll onto the screen. Most other shows provide two or three lined
Captions placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer can follow the dialogue.
Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in foreign languages or words requiring
emphasis. Words that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes.
For television programs broadcasting with Closed Captions, look in your TV guide for the
Closed Captions symbol (CC).
• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10
seconds.
• Closed Captioned text is only displayed in locations where it is available.
• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in
the Caption Mode.
• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning.
This is normal with Closed Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because
during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not allow
time for editing.
• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may
not be seen or may interfere with Closed Captions.
• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed
Captioned signal.
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder
may not appear or may appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case,
adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.
